On Saturday, October 19, a Harvest Supper will be held at the Vassalboro United Methodist Church (VUMC) fellowship hall, at 614 Main Street/Rte. 32. The meal will be served 4:30 – 6 p.m., unless food runs out before, for a recommended donation of $10 per person. “Baked bean suppers are our usual fare but given the time of year and the popularity of turkey dinners we are changing it up this time,” said Pastor Karen Merrill. All are welcome to join us!”
The following Saturday, October 26, a “Fall Fest” will be held at VUMC from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. when crafts and homemade pumpkin and apple baked goods will be for sale. During the same hours, a variety of “To Go” hot soups, chili and mulled cider will be available to take home.
“Our Fall Fest is a great time to start early holiday shopping and to buy special sweet treats for your family and weekend guests,” said Simone Antworth.
It will be the last public supper in 2024 but soup and salad luncheons for 50+ year olds will continue throughout the winter, in collaboration with the Vassalboro Community Program, every second Wednesday 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. The Saturday night public suppers will resume next spring.
